Jenn’s Bridal Session @ The Graystone Inn, Wilmington, NC {Wilmington, NC, Photographer}

It wont be very often that I’ll have the opportunity to take a dear friends bridal portraits, but back in July I got to do just that.  Jenn had asked me back when Ben and herself first got engaged if I’d be willing to fly back and shoot her bridal portraits (and of course I said yes).  As the time got closer to our session we batted back and forth location ideas… I think we both would have loved to do the session outdoors, but considering it was July and ridiculously hot we opted for a session at The Graystone Inn, which is located in downtown Wilmington.  I don’t think we could have picked a better location, it was perfect for Jenn’s dress and the mood she was going for with her bridal portraits.  She was absolutely stunning in her dress.  Since this blog is up, it means that Jenn and Ben tied the knot on Saturday and I am sooo happy for the two of them and I hope y’all are having a blast in Mexico.  I hope you enjoy her bridal portraits…  Check back in a few weeks b/c I’ll have photos up that I snapped at the wedding…

I took a trip to Knoxville, TN to document Sarah & Andy’s engagement session.  They wanted to do their session where they will be getting married in 2026 and it was the best decision ever!  Not only did I get to meet and hang out with Sarah & Andy, but I also was able to […]

Greenville, you’ve been a beautiful backdrop—but lately, I’ve fallen hard for something else: private estate weddings. If you’re dreaming of tying the knot somewhere that’s more your world than a checklist, a family home‑turned‑wedding‑day‑stage is where the real magic happens. Why private estates feel so right Authentic comfort from beginning to end It’s your space. […]
